Fair enough points for sure. I will retest at the 6 week mark and see where I am. I think right now I don’t want to change anything and will stay at the 16mg for consistency’s sake. Then I will adjust if necessary. To be honest taking even less appeals to me, but we shall see.

Im on 16mg daily right now, subjective benefits aren't there of course, but that takes time. With my lab results why would inject less then 12mg?

So a little update. I know these labs are early, but I chose to start dailies on my own, as I normally do with most things, and if it works out well I will talk to my provider about it. However, I had to change my appointment to an earlier date, and will be having to get bloodwork for said...

Yea that’s usually what it takes for me to feel “on trt” again. We shall see this time around. I did notice yesterday and today that it’s such a small amount the injection is a lot faster and easier. Gonna grab some 29 gauge .3cc insulin syringes instead of the 27 gauge .5cc ones I have.

From a lot of your posts it seems like you’ve responded extremely well to TRT in general.

Of course, Ive been on TRT for quite some time now, and know how long things can take to even out. I just always go through a period of a few weeks to a month when changing doses where I feel like I am not on TRT at all, just like I felt prior to starting treatment. I was simply curious if daily...

Of course. Just wondered if daily injections "caught up" any faster. Had first 16mg injection today, will update thread after 4 or so weeks.

Thanks for your input Vince.

Vince I’ve tried lowering dose before, and I just realized I had a typo. I’m on 54mg twice a week. Lower than that had me feeling like shit. Also since I started the AI some weeks I tried three doses a few times. Sometimes it helped, sometimes it didn’t. Using an AI was good, it helped me...

Thanks for the advice, that’s what I will do. One last question. Every time I have ever changed my dose of test I feel hypogonadal. Did you have any of that when you switched to daily?

Your posts are one of the main reasons I am trying this after seeing what you achieved. What dose would you recommend? I was gonna go with 16 since thats 4mg more than what I do now when divided by 7 days. Also should I do as systemlord suggests and just drop AI? or should I taper it?

Honestly just what I’ve always done. I tried same day and hcg just really raises my estrogen. Hence why I take such a low dose. The two at the same time did not make me feel good.

I completely agree. I think I should have made it more clear in my post I wasn’t in a rush to change things. I also never change anything before bloodwork either. I simply wanted some opinions on what I could do down the road to increase the number of days per week when I feel good.

Honestly this will probably be what I end up doing. However at the moment I am a young dude who likes to travel. Injecting as much as I do is already a hassle in those situations. Having supplies, enough medicine, cooler for hcg, etc. So basically I’m just not ready for that yet. I do understand...

I agree it’s complicated, but it’s working. I want to take more because I feel great on AI days, and back to shitty on days when I don’t take it. I’m not in any rush to mess with dosing, and won’t before labs. Just looking for advice is all. I also understand most people here wouldn’t take an...

Thanks Vince. I read elsewhere where you talked about the same thing and was curious about free E. I will see if its feasible to add it to my next round of bloodwork.

I understand a lot of people on this sub are against using an AI. However, I know some also do well on a low dose AI. I want to preface the post with some history, I have been on TRT for almost two years now. Like many I have had ups and downs with it. Ive been stable on the same protocol for...

One last question, do you take your AI at the same time as your test, or 24h after it?

Thanks for the replies. A lot of people here demonize AI. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not fucking thrilled about possibly taking one for the rest of my life, but then again I wasn’t thrilled about injecting myself either but that helped me out so much idk where I would be right now without it. Gonna...

Awesome. Thanks man. Also I saw where you went off an AI for a little while to experiment, how did that go? Ive been on no AI for the majority of my treatment, total test always 750-900, free test at the upper half of the range, and estradiol is always high(low to upper 40s at trough). I tried...

how exactly do you manage that? Not sure if the compounding pharmacy here will make .125mg pills. Should I just do volumetric dosing with vodka?

Nash do you take .2mg total a week? or .2 twice a week?

Sounds like you've developed a perfect system for being left alone quite quickly. haha Thanks for all the helpful info. I normally just put my stuff in my checked bags and Ive never had a problem, but I am not checking a bag this time.

thanks Nelson. Looks like I will be fine as along as I have everything I need for documentation.

Yea I will certainly have that with me.

Headed to south America. I'm on doc prescirbed test cyp and HCG. Im not checking a bag, only taking a carry on. Should I have any problems with my insulin syringes in my bag, or the liquid of my meds when going through security?

Maybe so man, but I don’t believe there is any harm in going in small amounts. Basically guarantees I don’t swing through my sweet spot on accident. Like I said, I’ve got plenty of time and patience.

Latest bloodwork: Total test: 979 (264-916) Free test: 32.5 (9.3-26.5) Sensitive e2: 49.9 ( 8-35) Taken at trough. Been on trt a little over a year. Have had high hematocrit once, and recently back acne flared up and libido hasn’t been the greatest. So I’m slowly titrating down until my e2 is...
